Perfect ice pack to keep in the freezer. Works well; great shape & perfectly price. Easy to use; grab & use. I’ve had a set in the freezer for 20 years & now that my husband uses them, I wanted additional ones in the freezer. The packs stay cold & regardless of how long we use them. I’ve never had a leaking problem like the Therapeutic pack I purchased in the 80’s

My wife recently had a hip replacement. These gel packs freeze up but are still flexible. Because of their slim shape they easily fit in her sweat pants pocket right along where her surgery was, helping to provide her with some relief from pain. She could also lay on the pads and due to their slim shape they weren't uncomfortable for her. Since they come as a two pack, by the time one thaws out you still have the other one in the freezer and available to use. I highly recommend these gel packs.

I struggle a lot with anxiety especially as I'm trying to go to sleep at night, and an icepack on the chest often helps me relax. I love these ice packs because they're so flexible and thin that I can comfortable lay on my stomach with one under my chest (I'm a stomach sleeper). My only complaint is that they don't stay cold as long as hard ice packs, but I don't think that's a fault of this product and is instead just a reality of this type of ice pack.

UPDATE: It's now 2024 and these packs have lasted about four years which is outstanding! I’ve recently ordered a new set because the original sets I have, somehow have become a bit thinner (no leaking!) while still useful. Even so — four years for ice packs is fantasic and I still recommend them!I've had two sets of these Thrive ice packs over a year — bought my first pair in February, 2020, then again in May 2020. None have yet to leak at all! I'm using them all the time — knees, back, etc. They are vastly superior to the “other” name brand. The original brand (Ace?) would start leaking after just a few months, if that — I would put them in ziplock bags, but they would get thinner and slimier.. These Thrive ice packs have retained their size and fullness. Yes they freeze hard when left in freezer, but shouldn't they be? As they are being used, they soften up and become flexible. I've used them many times, and they are still in excellent condition.

Great ice backs and they stay cold for a long time!

These are amazing. Freeze fast and stay cold double the normal time. They have a rugged coating that feels like it will outlast me. I am disabled with chronic pain and these are a daily life saver. They help me so much. No other ice packs compares. I have tried almost every one possible until I found these. I tried a couple others even after, but returned them. I give these to family now when they need ice packs. These have won a life long fan. Now I will say, I do not like the ceramic beads types and Thrive does make those too. I DO NOT like those type. This is a gel pad that stay cold.I love this company now. Seriously love them and thank them for creating these.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have owned a similar product for over 20 years, which I keep in my freezer. So handy to have when the need arrives. These gel bags can easily be shaped to fit the need. I was happy to find that this type of gel pack was still available - but if you have a great product that works, then you would have no need to get rid of it.
